Timetable software for colleges
Most timetabling software aimed at smaller institutions is a cut-down edition of something else, with the useful features removed. Wise Timetable is the full system at a price a college can justify.
The full system, not a lite edition
Wise Timetable was designed for enterprise universities. Rather than producing a reduced version for smaller institutions, we set the entry price at €90 per month and give colleges the same feature set — automatic generation, room booking, exam scheduling, mobile apps, API, reporting and full support.
There is no tier that unlocks the constraint engine, no add-on price for the booking system, and no per-student fee. The whole point of the licensing model is that a college is not paying for enterprise infrastructure it does not need, but is not denied capability either.
Built to be run by one person
The constraint that defines a college is not size. It is that timetabling is somebody's second job.
The administration console was designed so an administrator can master it without formal training, with context-sensitive help on every screen. Training is included anyway — three to five days — but the system does not assume a dedicated timetabling department exists.
The IT-less design matters even more here than at a university. Once running, operations are handled by the server and our support team. Your one IT person is not drawn into scheduling.
And support is included in the licence, with a named account manager and second-line issues answered by the development team. Small institutions are usually the ones relegated to a knowledge base and a web form; that is not how we sell.
What colleges use most
Automatic generation
What used to take weeks of evenings takes minutes, and can be rerun whenever something changes.
Mobile apps
Free iOS and Android apps for every student, included, with push notifications when a class moves.
